Ralph rolled his eyes and said, "Look, vykker, I'm sure 'your superior' does actually have the ability to think for himself. Now, you seem to have gotten the idea into your head that I'm bent on causing havoc for your operation here, but in that case, why would I have even helped bring this mudokon here? IF you are going to treat her and no more, then I have no protest. But if you are so set on removing us, I can only assume you have other ideas, and therefore I will fight."

He turned to Dek, "Dek, is it? If you would care to listen to my advice, I say let us stay; worrying about us will only delay the operation and as the wounded mudokon seems to be rather distressed about this perhaps having her friend," he nodded towards Kix, "with her may help to calm her down. As for me, I can assist you with anything you ask."

"So," he said, addressing both vykkers now, "What will it be?"

OOC: I'd better let Slaveless post as Kix before I post as Ralph again.
